The small North Korean city of Pyongsong, a 30 minute drive from Pyongyang, became open to overnight stays for foreigners in August 2013. On Koryo Tours' National Day trip, our local guide Mr Byon sang on the bus while the group drove through the bustling streets.

https://donnyferguson.com/ : I recorded this during my visit to Pyongsong. As part of the "70 Day Campaign" to honor the 70th anniversary of North Korea's founding and to boost national productivity, these women perform a flag routine for workers heading to their morning jobs.
This is not a main street, so they were undoubtedly ordered to perform in front of the hotel as a display of patriotism. Very skilled performance.

Pyongsong is located North of Pyongyang, DPRK. It is a mining city of around 300,000 inhabitants and we started arranging trips for travellers to visit this city in 2013. Prior to that travellers were only allowed to stay there overnight but no actual travelling took around in the city. Because it is not too far away from Pyongyang (around a 30 - 40 minute drive away) it is referred to as a "Satellite City."
The video above shows the city's Central Square which has a statue of a young PresidentKim Il Sung. The slogan you can read means "One UnifiedHeart" and in the middle the emblem of the Workers' Party of Korea; a hammer (representing the industrial class), a sickle (representing the farming class) and a brush (representing the intelectual class).
The main highlights our travellers can visit are:
- Number OneHigh School (aka Kim Jong SukNumber 1 High School) where we will be shown around by the school headmaster and we can join in a class and speak in English to the children.
- Paeksongri RevolutionarySite - this is where Kim Il Sung University, the top university in DPRK, was moved during the Korean War (1950-3)
- A local factory. We usually arrange a visit to either the Paeksong Food Factory or the Taedonggang Textile Factory
We hope you enjoy this short clip of Pyongsong's Central Square!

https://donnyferguson.com/ : I recorded this during my visit to Pyongsong.

While staying in Pyongsong, located about 20km north of Pyongyang, I walked around the hotel one evening in 2015 and saw this lone girl in a dark corridor singing by herself for quite some time. I'm not sure she even noticed that I was filming her. Can anyone tell me what she is singing about? NDPRK propaganda song? Thanks, Anders

Pyongsong

P'yŏngsŏng (평성, Korean pronunciation:[pʰjʌŋsʰʌŋ]) is a city in North Korea, the capital city of South P'yŏngan province in western North Korea. The city is located about 32 kilometres northeast of P'yŏngyang, and was formally established in December 1969. It has a population of 284 386.

Etymology

The word north is related to the Old High Germannord, both descending from the Proto-Indo-European unit ner-, meaning "down" (or "under"). (Presumably a natural primitive description of its concept is "to the left of the rising sun".)

The Latin word borealis comes from the Greekboreas "north wind, north", which, according to Ovid, was personified as the son of the river-god Strymon, the father of Calais and Zetes. Septentrionalis is from septentriones, "the seven plow oxen", a name of Ursa Maior. The Greek arktikos is named for the same constellation, and is the derivation of the English word "Arctic".

Other languages have sometimes more interesting derivations. For example, in Lezgian, kefer can mean both 'disbelief' and 'north', since to the north of the Muslim Lezgian homeland there are areas formerly inhabited by non-Muslim Caucasian and Turkic peoples. In many languages of Mesoamerica, "north" also means "up". In Hungarian the word for north is észak, which is derived from éjszaka ("night"), since above the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun never shines from the north.

Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.

Table tennis

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using a small paddle. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: Players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce one time on their side of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage. When doing so the hitter has a better chance of scoring if the spin is successful.

Table tennis is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis Federation, founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 220 member associations. The table tennis official rules are specified in the ITTF handbook. Table tennis has been an Olympic sport since 1988, with several event categories. In particular, from 1988 until 2004, these were: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles. Since 2008, a team event has been played instead of the doubles.

PYONGSONG, NORTH KOREA — After 74-day hiatus, North Korea has test-launched another ballistic missile, which some believe is possibly its more powerful one yet.
Reuters reports that an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Pyongsong early Wednesday, reportedly flying on a lofted trajectory and reaching a maximum height of 4,500 kilometers.
The missile flew nearly 1,000 kilometers for approximately 53 minutes before landing off the coast of Aomori, within Japan's exclusive economic zone.
Two previous ICBMs test-launched this year traveled a shorter distance, flying for 37 minutes on July 4, and 47 minutes on July 28.
Had the missile flown on a standard trajectory, experts say it would have a range of more than 13,000 kilometers — enough to reach Washington D.C. and the rest of the continental U.S., and even Europe or Australia, according to the Guardian.
South Korea responded to the launch by conducting its own missile test off the country's east coast.
Japan detected radio signals on Tuesday suggesting the North might be preparing for a ballistic missile test. The government has since condemned the launch.

We're about to go pick it up, when we see a staff member quickly climbing the stairs to intercept us. We flee.

My Daily Life In NORTH KOREA (MYSTERIOUS 7 DAY TRIP)

UPDATE - one year after visiting North Korea I traveled to South Korea and made a video comparing my experiences in both of these two countries. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJUSIWSaQX4
I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another.
That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether th...

My LIFE in NORTH KOREA - a TRIP to PYONGYANG!

North Korea has been on my list for years and finally I made it. This short VLOG should give you a little impression of what it is like to travel to the DPRK or better known as North Korea.
I went on a 3-days tour starting in Dandong, China. I went with Young Pioneer Tours and it was an incredible experience.
I don't have an opinion on whether it was staged or not, whether they are bad or good, or how I feel about the whole trip. I went to the DPRK as a tourist and for a cultural exchange. From human to human, without a political agenda.

This Video Will Change Your Perception of North Korea

I went on a 3 day guided tour in Pyongyang, North Korea in April 2017, and I put together this short video/documentary from trip.
Please keep in mind that this video is about my own personal experiences in North Korea, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I am well aware that all tours to North Korea are organized and preplanned, and what I saw was a skewed perspective (a small fraction) of the realities that may exist behind closed doors.
My goal in making this video (and all videos) has always been the same – to focus on spreading happiness & positivity in our world by connecting with people across the globe. While it’s a bit more challenging to do this in North Korea, I tried my best to show you a different side of North Korea and connect with the people – apart fr...

10 Days in North Korea. Inside the most isolated country in the world

More films about Asia: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/asia/
RT takes an exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. It’s hard to overestimate the Commander-in-chief’s role in the country: his likeness adorns the streets and squares in every ci...

My 7 Day Journey Through NORTH KOREA (DPRK) ［私の7日間の北朝鮮旅行！］

I had always wanted to visit North Korea. This fascination had gotten the best of me and I decided to venture into the mysterious country for a 7 day trip with Young Pioneer Tours. It was truly a life-changing experience. I learnt so many things about the history and culture. I also learnt that the North Korean people are very friendly. Many of them don't want to be governed by the Kim family but have no choice.
I tried to be as unbiased as possible, while just showing you the things you can expect to see if you YOURSELF decide to take a trip to North Korea one day.
I was only allowed to freely video things that the North Korean tour guide wanted me to. So this video is not meant as an expose of any sort. It is just a travel blog of my time in North Korea. I tried to remain as respectf...

https://www.facebook.com/learnwithsyed
WARNING: Some governments advise against all travel to North Korea due to the uncertain security situation caused by North Korea’s nuclear weapons development program and highly authoritarian and unpredictable regime.
Though there is little evidence of safety issues concerning tourists on organized expeditions, those planning to engage in activities that the North Korean government forbids must be prepared to face severe consequences.
Under no circumstances are you to say anything that could be perceived as an insult to or critical of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-Il, Kim Jong-Un, the Juche ideology, the Songun policy, the ruling Worker's Party of Korea, the North Korean government in general, or the citizens of North Korea. Simply avoid these topics if you c...

North Korea amazing 2017

Short impression (12 minutes) of a trip with a small group through the North Korea. We visited capital Pyong Yang and surroundings and the still unknown beautiful northern province North Hangyong. The interesting people were very friendly and we enjoyed very much! This video was also broadcasted in Japan by the TokyoBroadcastSystem in October 2017.

UPDATE - one year after visiting North Korea I traveled to South Korea and made a video comparing my experiences in both of these two countries. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJUSIWSaQX4
I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another.
That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself.
Do not judge North Korea only from what you see in this video. This is what they showed us and there's a reason they show some things and not show the others. Also, knowing how much control they exercise over the population, everything could have been staged only for us.
My favorite books about North Korea:
Dear Leader by Jang Jin Sung - http://amzn.to/2vEkrrE;
Escape From Camp 14 by Blaine Harden - http://amzn.to/2vEz6U1;
Nothing To Envy by Barbara Demick - http://amzn.to/2vzieiI;
1984 by George Orwell (I couldn't believe how similar some things in North Korea looked to the ones in the book) - http://amzn.to/2vE92s8.

Please keep in mind that this video is about my own personal experiences in North Korea, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I am well aware that all tours to North Korea are organized and preplanned, and what I saw was a skewed perspective (a small fraction) of the realities that may exist behind closed doors.
My goal in making this video (and all videos) has always been the same – to focus on spreading happiness & positivity in our world by connecting with people across the globe. While it’s a bit more challenging to do this in North Korea, I tried my best to show you a different side of North Korea and connect with the people – apart from all the negativity the media has brought about to this nation.
Many of you know my deep love, appreciation and connection with Korea, as I lived and taught English in Seoul18 months. I can speak Korean conversationally, so I used my ability to meet eye to eye with as many locals as I could to have conversations with them. Most people I came across were friendly and kind-hearted, even after telling them I was American.
I welcome your thoughts, feedback and questions about my trip to North Korea. If you enjoy this video, please share it to help spread the message of peace and positivity within North Korea.

10 Days in North Korea. Inside the most isolated country in the world

RT takes an exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. It’s hard to overestimate the Commander-in-chief’s role in the country: his likeness adorns the streets and squares in every city and village. Through official portraits and statues, he is, literally, everywhere and kindergarten children are taught to sing his praises. Locals adore Kim Jong-un and consider him the Father of the Nation, he encourages everyone to be patriotic and surpass all other nations.
Almost 15% of North Korea’s GDP is reserved for military spending, and long after the Korean War of the 1950s, the country has still not signed a peace treaty with its capitalist southern neighbor. As a result, thousands of families were torn apart by the political divide. The army remains a source of inspiration; it determinates the social structure and stimulates ordinary people to devote their lives to work in the faithful service of the Marshal. The people believe that this military ideology consolidates national spirit and guarantees stability and order.
However, not even tough military methods and an ideological barrier around the country can solve the economic lag or the enormous social and economic gulf between South and North Korea. Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are in stark contrast to the economic reality. Despite developments in labour cooperation, a demilitarized zone, demarcated by a huge wall between the two states, is still amongst the most heavily armed areas in the world.
President of the Korean Friendship Association, Alejandro Cao de Benos explains that due to the generally accepted ideology of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the people will never understand nor accept a western mind-set. From childhood, they are taught to be loyal to their leader and to beware of western values.
For most viewers North Korea remains a mystery but this unique film offers a limited window of opportunity to view Korean lifestyle through the prism of North Korean peoples’ every day cares and joys. RT Doc meets ordinary workers and soldiers to hear first hand, how they lived before being isolated from the whole world.

Wolhyang General Store in North Korea - Part 1

Please, READ THE DESCRIPTION!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/07/north-korea-privileged-pyongyang-daily-life
I visited the WolHyang shop located in WolHyang District, near the Arch of Triumph downtown Pyongyang. The shop is frequently visited by foreign tourists, in this store there are available a variety of souvenirs such as artwork, herbs and so forth. My several visits to the store with my family or while I served as a photographer for several foreign delegations I took them to visit this store. In this store, it is allowed to take pictures and videos. The employees are also friendly and they allowed to take photos together. For this time I tried to take a video, my wife and I want to buy an embroidery painting but the kind of painting that I want is not available then my wife bought some Tea Ginseng. Several waitresses noticed my GoPro camera, but they don’t mind and thought it was a pocket camera.
=====================
Since I came to Pyongyang in November 2012 until I left Pyongyang in March 2016 I got so many experiences.
I just wanna share a bit of my life experience in North Korea, mostly in Pyongyang. We are foreigners (Diplomats, Expatriates) who live in Pyongyang can roam freely around Pyongyang, and diplomats got more privileged than other expatriates.
There are also many Americans (USA), Canadians, Korean American who works as teachers and professors in Pyongyang.
Foreigners can travel to other cities outside Pyongyang, but we must request permission to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea.
Since I lived in North Korea, I already travel to other cities in Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern side. Sometimes I travel with a minder, sometimes I just drive my car by my own and with my family (without a minder),
#NOTE: I am not a diplomat and didn’t work for embassy.

I had always wanted to visit North Korea. This fascination had gotten the best of me and I decided to venture into the mysterious country for a 7 day trip with Young Pioneer Tours. It was truly a life-changing experience. I learnt so many things about the history and culture. I also learnt that the North Korean people are very friendly. Many of them don't want to be governed by the Kim family but have no choice.
I tried to be as unbiased as possible, while just showing you the things you can expect to see if you YOURSELF decide to take a trip to North Korea one day.
I was only allowed to freely video things that the North Korean tour guide wanted me to. So this video is not meant as an expose of any sort. It is just a travel blog of my time in North Korea. I tried to remain as respectful as possible (while they held onto my passport).
I hope truly for peace and freedom for the people of North Korea. The NorthKorean people and myself wish for peace. The North Korean people don't all hate foreign people. They wake up, eat breakfast, go to work and love their families like we all do. It;s important that I made an effort to not demonize the people like Western media does.
I hope you enjoy the video! And let's all hope for a resolution to the North Korean conflict and for long-term peace and stability.
I hope you enjoy the video.

This video for KoreaVacationTravelGuide is one of our older productions, but we wanted to share it with you to get some feedback on how these older clips compare to the more recent travel guides we’ve shot. Below are some links to those recent videos. Feel free to compare with this clip and comment below to let us know which ones you prefer, and what else you’d love to see from Expedia on YouTube!
St. Petersburg

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
South Korea, located on the peninsula between Japan and China, is a nation of contradictions. You’ll find an ancient culture that goes back thousands of years, bolstered by high-tech industries and glowing modern cities. These elements, seemingly at odds, often mix together to create a truly unique experience.
Your Korea tour begins with Seoul, a mega-city full of theatres, casinos, restaurants, and pubs. If you love shopping, you’re in luck: Korea loves nothing better than offering a chance for some good purchases. Entire districts are devoted to stores, vendors, and malls, so make sure your credit card is ready to go.
If you’re engaging in some sightseeing in Korea, you can’t go wrong with a dedicated visit to the many temples and palaces that dot the country. Many of these sacred locations are adorned with ponds, moats, and trees, allowing you to get back in touch with nature while you explore this nation’s vast history.
Stop by the museums and galleries of your choice to get a taste of the local modern culture. You’ll find fine art, eccentric modern pieces, and everything in between—and best of all, you can stop for delicious Korean food on just about any corner.
What will you do in Korea?

Short impression (12 minutes) of a trip with a small group through the North Korea. We visited capital Pyong Yang and surroundings and the still unknown beautiful northern province North Hangyong. The interesting people were very friendly and we enjoyed very much! This video was also broadcasted in Japan by the TokyoBroadcastSystem in October 2017.

Driving through Pyongsong, North Korea

The small North Korean city of Pyongsong, a 30 minute drive from Pyongyang, became open to overnight stays for foreigners in August 2013. On Koryo Tours' National Day trip, our local guide Mr Byon sang on the bus while the group drove through the bustling streets.
For more information about Pyongsong see here:http://koryogroup.com/blog/?p=1995
Koryo Tours is the world's leading DPRK (North Korea) travel specialist.

Morning in Pyongsong, North Korea: Propaganda performance: 1 of 2

https://donnyferguson.com/ : I recorded this during my visit to Pyongsong. As part of the "70 Day Campaign" to honor the 70th anniversary of North Korea's founding and to boost national productivity, these women perform a flag routine for workers heading to their morning jobs.
This is not a main street, so they were undoubtedly ordered to perform in front of the hotel as a display of patriotism. Very skilled performance.

Pyongsong is located North of Pyongyang, DPRK. It is a mining city of around 300,000 inhabitants and we started arranging trips for travellers to visit this city in 2013. Prior to that travellers were only allowed to stay there overnight but no actual travelling took around in the city. Because it is not too far away from Pyongyang (around a 30 - 40 minute drive away) it is referred to as a "Satellite City."
The video above shows the city's Central Square which has a statue of a young PresidentKim Il Sung. The slogan you can read means "One UnifiedHeart" and in the middle the emblem of the Workers' Party of Korea; a hammer (representing the industrial class), a sickle (representing the farming class) and a brush (representing the intelectual class).
The main highlights our travellers can visit are:
- Number OneHigh School (aka Kim Jong SukNumber 1 High School) where we will be shown around by the school headmaster and we can join in a class and speak in English to the children.
- Paeksongri RevolutionarySite - this is where Kim Il Sung University, the top university in DPRK, was moved during the Korean War (1950-3)
- A local factory. We usually arrange a visit to either the Paeksong Food Factory or the Taedonggang Textile Factory
We hope you enjoy this short clip of Pyongsong's Central Square!

A North Korean girl singing by herself in a dark hotel corridor in Pyongsong

While staying in Pyongsong, located about 20km north of Pyongyang, I walked around the hotel one evening in 2015 and saw this lone girl in a dark corridor singing by herself for quite some time. I'm not sure she even noticed that I was filming her. Can anyone tell me what she is singing about? NDPRK propaganda song? Thanks, Anders

I Get Yelled at for Filming a Flooded Bathroom

During a stay at the Jangsusan hotel in Pyongsong, North Korea, the plumbing for the toilet in the room next to me breaks. I, of course, grab my camera to film the hilarity, only to be yelled at and told to stop, as soon as the staff arrives.

My Daily Life In NORTH KOREA (MYSTERIOUS 7 DAY TRIP)

UPDATE - one year after visiting North Korea I traveled to South Korea and made a video comparing my experiences in both of these two countries. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJUSIWSaQX4
I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another.
That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself.
Do not judge North Korea only from what you see in this video. This is what they showed us and there's a reason they show some things and not show the others. Also, knowing how much control they exercise over the population, everything could have been staged only for us.
My favorite books about North Korea:

Nothing To Envy by Barbara Demick - http://amzn.to/2vzieiI;

NORTH KOREA has closed its borders in fear of the spread of the Ebola virus. But at a time when the secretive state was still welcoming tourists, former aid worker Andrew Macleod made the journey to the repressive nation. Andrew’s holiday snaps and camera footage provide a unique insight into the reclusive country, where he came across deserted motorways, metro stations plastered with propaganda and attractive border guards.

My LIFE in NORTH KOREA - a TRIP to PYONGYANG!

North Korea has been on my list for years and finally I made it. This short VLOG should give you a little impression of what it is like to travel to the DPRK or better known as North Korea.
I went on a 3-days tour starting in Dandong, China. I went with Young Pioneer Tours and it was an incredible experience.
I don't have an opinion on whether it was staged or not, whether they are bad or good, or how I feel about the whole trip. I went to the DPRK as a tourist and for a cultural exchange. From human to human, without a political agenda.

This Video Will Change Your Perception of North Korea

I went on a 3 day guided tour in Pyongyang, North Korea in April 2017, and I put together this short video/documentary from trip.
Please keep in mind that this video is about my own personal experiences in North Korea, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I am well aware that all tours to North Korea are organized and preplanned, and what I saw was a skewed perspective (a small fraction) of the realities that may exist behind closed doors.
My goal in making this video (and all videos) has always been the same – to focus on spreading happiness & positivity in our world by connecting with people across the globe. While it’s a bit more challenging to do this in North Korea, I tried my best to show you a different side of North Korea and connect with the people – apart from all the negativity the media has brought about to this nation.
Many of you know my deep love, appreciation and connection with Korea, as I lived and taught English in Seoul18 months. I can speak Korean conversationally, so I used my ability to meet eye to eye with as many locals as I could to have conversations with them. Most people I came across were friendly and kind-hearted, even after telling them I was American.
I welcome your thoughts, feedback and questions about my trip to North Korea. If you enjoy this video, please share it to help spread the message of peace and positivity within North Korea.

10 Days in North Korea. Inside the most isolated country in the world

More films about Asia: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/asia/
RT takes an exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. It’s hard to overestimate the Commander-in-chief’s role in the country: his likeness adorns the streets and squares in every city and village. Through official portraits and statues, he is, literally, everywhere and kindergarten children are taught to sing his praises. Locals adore Kim Jong-un and consider him the Father of the Nation, he encourages everyone to be patriotic and surpass all other nations.
Almost 15% of North Korea’s GDP is reserved for military spending, and long after the Korean War of the 1950s, the country has still not signed a peace treaty with its capitalist southern neighbor. As a result, thousands of families were torn apart by the political divide. The army remains a source of inspiration; it determinates the social structure and stimulates ordinary people to devote their lives to work in the faithful service of the Marshal. The people believe that this military ideology consolidates national spirit and guarantees stability and order.
However, not even tough military methods and an ideological barrier around the country can solve the economic lag or the enormous social and economic gulf between South and North Korea. Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are in stark contrast to the economic reality. Despite developments in labour cooperation, a demilitarized zone, demarcated by a huge wall between the two states, is still amongst the most heavily armed areas in the world.
President of the Korean Friendship Association, Alejandro Cao de Benos explains that due to the generally accepted ideology of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the people will never understand nor accept a western mind-set. From childhood, they are taught to be loyal to their leader and to beware of western values.
For most viewers North Korea remains a mystery but this unique film offers a limited window of opportunity to view Korean lifestyle through the prism of North Korean peoples’ every day cares and joys. RT Doc meets ordinary workers and soldiers to hear first hand, how they lived before being isolated from the whole world.

Pyongyang Street Food - North Korea

READ THE DESCRIPTION! 👇
I'm Indonesian.
I was going to a street food stall at Bugsae Street in Pyongyang. I don't buy many kinds of food, since we are moslem, my wife and I try to be careful in choosing food. We only buy food that contain vegetable or seafood or rice and flour.

Wolhyang General Store in North Korea - Part 1

Please, READ THE DESCRIPTION!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/07/north-korea-privileged-pyongyang-daily-life
I visited the WolHyang shop located in WolHyang District, near the Arch of Triumph downtown Pyongyang. The shop is frequently visited by foreign tourists, in this store there are available a variety of souvenirs such as artwork, herbs and so forth. My several visits to the store with my family or while I served as a photographer for several foreign delegations I took them to visit this store. In this store, it is allowed to take pictures and videos. The employees are also friendly and they allowed to take photos together. For this time I tried to take a video, my wife and I want to buy an embroidery painting but the kind of painting that I want is not available then my wife bought some Tea Ginseng. Several waitresses noticed my GoPro camera, but they don’t mind and thought it was a pocket camera.
=====================
Since I came to Pyongyang in November 2012 until I left Pyongyang in March 2016 I got so many experiences.
I just wanna share a bit of my life experience in North Korea, mostly in Pyongyang. We are foreigners (Diplomats, Expatriates) who live in Pyongyang can roam freely around Pyongyang, and diplomats got more privileged than other expatriates.
There are also many Americans (USA), Canadians, Korean American who works as teachers and professors in Pyongyang.
Foreigners can travel to other cities outside Pyongyang, but we must request permission to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea.
Since I lived in North Korea, I already travel to other cities in Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern side. Sometimes I travel with a minder, sometimes I just drive my car by my own and with my family (without a minder),
#NOTE: I am not a diplomat and didn’t work for embassy.
